See, my parents raised me to be a high-integrity, upstanding, loving guy — they nurtured me and blessed me with many gifts. They did an outstanding job.

That job did not include teaching me to openly adore naked women, or to go anywhere near porn.

In fact, I was told porn was ‘evil.’

Hmm.

Well despite that, and it taking twenty minutes to load an image on my ’90s internet connection– I still risked Dad’s scalding fury & Mom’s heart-breaking disappointment for a glimpse of nameless women who’d somehow become heaven for my eyes, a focus for my pleasure.

I flicked a nervous glance over my shoulder, body alert & poised to act in case of parental intrusion.

<shudda-shuddahhh-THRUMM!>

Every shudder of the ventilation in my basement made me jump, as if burned.

A gun a hundred years ago allowed hunters to feed their families. A gun last year gets mishandled by a cop, cutting short the life of an innocent.

I could write an article about how hammers should be praised ’cause they build stuff or I could write one about how they should be banned ’cause they bludgeon people.

Nakedness isn’t inherently bad. Who came up with that? Can we sit down with ’em and ask what they meant and why

Geez.

I’m sick of hearing how shameful & degrading sex is.

Russell Brand, a dude who’s views I generally enjoy, got a lot of attention for his anti-porn rant shortly after 50 Shades came out. I agree with many of his points, but I feel he’s ignoring some key things.

I’ve started spending time over at SuicideGirls and Fetlife, ’cause they’re places I can connect with like-minded people. It’s that or move to L.A.

Or Europe I guess, they don’t seem to have the same hang-ups as the West.

So what happened here that “recorded sex” became some world-shattering tragedy?

Sigh.

I could write a book and still fail to change anyone’s views — so I’m just doing this for me. Expressing my thoughts in case I die tomorrow. If you’re open-minded enough maybe you can appreciate ’em.

Mia’s eyes moistened just from thinking that word.

1. Porn is people being proud of their pleasure.

Body-love and showing-off as a service, is nothing to be ashamed of.

Pornstars are valuable people.

Funeral directors. Acupuncturists. Mystery-shoppers. All provide value & serve a purpose. They may not be everyone’s favorite, but these peeps offer a certain section of clients increased variety, improved service, more convenience and a bunch of other good things.

Pornstars, models, and escorts, even if they’re not everyone’s favorite job, provide much value to their clients.

Porn is a natural pleasure.

Somehow older humans have chosen to raise younger ones to be ashamed of their bodies, emotions, & impulses. It’s “right” to watch violence, but watching people enjoy physical pleasure? That’s wrong, do it in secret or not at all, & surely not in anything close to ‘public.’

Be pleasure-proud: cats, dogs, apes, & everything else in nature is born shameless. So are we all.

Porn can be a heartfelt calling.

Many argue porn is harmful, but look at harm caused by well-meaning surgeons. Look at accidents car-makers had a hand in. A pornstar aiming to give pleasure isn’t auto-harming, any more than doctors or car-makers.

All jobs can be abused or used lovingly to help others. Follow your heart, whether that’s a porn phase like Mischa Brooks or a porn career like Nina Hartley.

Porn, like any art, has creative variety.

If porn wasn’t creative we would’ve discovered ‘missionary’ way back when, and basically never changed it up. Up until fairly recently, blowjobs were a rare, ultra-secretive indulgence.

As porn expanded, we got costumes, toys, location-sex, multiple orgasms, g-spots, and more positions than the Kama Sutra.

Porn’s an artform to be proud of, allowing beautiful expression & creative variety. Does that mean everyone’s a masterful artist, or that you’ll personally love every creation? Does it mean that appreciating people sharing physical pleasure is degrading?

And she remembered the spark that really set her off.

2. Porn can be a vital phase, and there’s life beyond porn.

Porn opened doors for the 3 stars below to grow beyond the label.

Nikki Benz for mayor?

Nikki Benz in 2014 announced her candidacy for Mayor Of Toronto, aiming to replace Rob Ford. She touched on issues like gay rights, economy, and transportation and ran on a platform of honesty & transparency.

Bree Olson does comedy.

Bree Olson put her massively successful porn career behind her and moved to mainstream acting. Shortly after that she successfully funded her Kickstarter Campaign to film and produce her own comedy series “Bree Does Comedy.”

Sasha Grey exits on top.

Sasha Grey successfully transitioned from an award-winning porn career into a number of other fields. From mainstream movies and TV, to high-fashion modelling, to publishing multiple books, photography, and more.

There’s life after porn.

Porn isn’t some kind of vortex that overpowers and victimizes people. There’s countless examples of people who’ve had a porn phase, and whether they enjoyed it or hated it, they learned from it and moved forward with their lives and relationships.

People need to take a breath and admit that porn’s just an activity, like every other activity, that can be right for the right person at the right time, or… not.

It’s up to each of us to decide individually what suits us. It’s not for a bunch of finger-pointers to judge and decide our life path.

A pornstar president? Yes way.

3. Many things we all love came from porn advancing society.

Humanity has created and invented so much… all ’cause of porn.

Porn gives better Internet we love.

6.2 billion pageviews per month & ryzing. That’s Pornhub.com. Three times bigger than CNN or ESPN, & twice as big as Reddit. This is record-setting bandwidth and like anything in life, a high-demand inspires innovation and improvement. Porn sparks growth (heh).

Porn sparks improved business models.

Many industries resist adopting new ideas. Not porn though. Porn was re-selling content long before the news-industry did it.The MPAA was anti-VHS & anti-digital video, but the porn industries leveraged both to provide value to their clients & profit through it.

Porn spawns mediums from video to virtual.

‘Til the late 1970s, porn films accounted for more than half of all VHS sales, which would’ve struggled as a format without it. Same goes for the printing press and digital cameras. And no one may talk about it, but everyone’s imagining virtual reality sex. Porn advances society.

So many inventions people use daily, inspired by porn.

Camera phones, e-commerce, fiber-lines, and camera-phones may not have been invented for porn, but they were adopted, embraced, and nurtured in their early release by the makers and consumers and lovers of porn.

Without people’s love of sex these great things may’ve not been invented or at least have taken many years longer to be realized.

Hating porn is like hating the existence of many things we all love, use, and rely on daily.

Our freshly digital society owes a lot to porn.

Society grows and evolves through sex, directly or indirectly.

“Sexually restrictive cultures gave us the Dark Ages and the Holocaust.” – Alan Moore

4. Pornstars are people, too.

Are pornstars bullied?

Racism, ageism, sexism or some other -ism are all easy to spot. Whether starting porn or leaving it, there’s plenty of vocal haters discouraging models & performers. For anyone pursuring a goal haters sting, and some are excessively cruel bullies.

Is porn addictive?

Johann Hari‘s spent years studying addiction and found it’s not a specific drug or porno that’s a key factor in addiction, it’s the mindset of the user. Lonely, depressed users can easily be addicted, happy, fulfilled people not so much.

Are pornstars shallow?

Is it shallow to expose skin and also profit from it? Or is it a deeper stand on sexual repression and values? We thought the earth was flat. We thought man couldn’t fly. We think selling sex is shallow. But is it really?

Pornstars choose a bold path, and deserve respect.

They’ve chosen the uncommon choice to show off their bodies. They choose to make profit through their god-given gifts. They choose to enhance their bodies through decoration, surgery, and more all to provide a more exhilarating entertainment experience.

They’re doing bold, scary, leading-edge things in society that most people hate on, rail against, or hide in shame.

They don’t deserve trolling, hate, slut-shaming, or bullying.

They’re human beings, and whether they’re exploring a dark phase in their life and learning from it, or they’re blissfully following their true calling, please show ’em some basic decency.

Chapter 5: J-Ryze

Mia needed a break from being a drunken cat-lady.

Lately, a visit to her local watering hole was the only time she left her condo.

Since “the post”, she’d cut herself off from social media and hid inside, sporadically drowning her sorrows in a Stella at The Firkin.

It was a fantastic place to go numb, a refuge where people didn’t know her, and if any did, they respected her privacy.

On top of that it was where she invited J-Ryze to meet her.

He was one of the few people who’d help her connect to the best version of her, and he was awesome at it.

Mia’s heart felt raw and she felt far from beautiful, but she sipped her wine and waited for his arrival.

A glance at her watch made her nervous ‘cause J was usually prompt, or early, so she glanced around and was pleasantly surprised to see him smiling, seated in a back booth.

She shakily made her way over, and started feeling even better as soon as she came into his presence.

God, everyone needed a J-Ryze.

“Hey beautiful, how ya feelin’?”

“Uhm, not so hot.”

“Good, it’d be weird if you were jumping for joy.”

Mia’s laugh felt too loud for the quiet booth, but was desperately needed.

“What’s botherin’ ya, Mia?”

“God, everything, J. I came out of the closet on presidency goals and now my life’s upside down. I live on ice-cream and cigarettes and you’re the only person I talk to where I’m not walking on eggshells.” Mia pursued her lips and sucked in a breath. “Plus the media’s going nuts, though thankfully haven’t started physically stalking me… yet.”

J-Ryze’s smile widened and his gaze deepened, but he didn’t say a word.

“I thought I could do this. I thought I’d be able to make a difference, the first pornstar to make it in politics, but it was stupid, I was—”

Shit just got real…

5. Porn, like all forms of expression, can be beautiful.

Sunsets, flowers, and naked bodies. All are beautiful.

Porn versus art.

There’s some arbitrary line that people argue over, whether something is categorized as art, or porn. It’s silly. Beauty’s in the eye of the beholder. If someone wants to hate or fear an image, they will. If another wants to love and value an image, they will too.

James and Stoya see the beauty.

James Deen & Stoya are two iconic, intelligent, articulate pornstars that were in a long-term relationship together. They saw each other & their work, their fans, their co-workers as beautiful. (Update: at least prior to the recent scandal.)

Porn is a form of entertainment.

Hollywood blockbusters arouse & entertain. So do viral youtube videos. So does porn. People coming (heh) together to create something which arouses and entertains others is beautiful. Some like comedies, some like dramas, and some like porn… or other. 😉

Porn celebrates what we all have bodily pleasure.

Unlike many churches, that do their best to cover bodies, porn sends the message that it’s okay to enjoy, indulge, celebrate, share, and profit from our bodies &mdash in a variety of forms.

It can be abused like anything, but at the core of it, is an acceptance of bodies, and if you explore the many flavors of porn out there, you’ll find they celebrate everything from nude amputees to clown sex.

I’d love to see more of society accept and be open to these things instead of bitterly raging against it.

Once again, Holly Randall drops the mic, “Let the world see what these girls are really like and let them see that they’re strong, empowered, independent women with a great sense of humor, with a head on their shoulders, who are going down a career path that they’ve chosen of their own accord— girls who are proud of what they do.”:

Chapter 6: Cam-pain

…And Mia’s life just got harder.

She felt better with J-Ryze to bounce decisions off of, and she was clearer than ever on moving forward, but damn was campaigning hard.

It was even harder when you’d swore you wouldn’t go back to porn to fund-raise for it.

Mia needed an alternative income, fast.

Donations? Signed autographs? Kickstarter?

Actually, that last one seemed doable, so she partnered up with long time marketing-friend Kymber Vick, and put together unique pledge- and reward- levels, then launched her Kickstarter Campaign, “Starlet For Senate.”

Technically, it’d solve the alternative income issue.

But it brought up a new one. Kickstarters only work if you have supporters who’ll pledge, and Mia’s fanbase had been decimated in the months since she’d made her fateful post.

Plus she’d been on hiatus from any media interviews since her spot on the Buffington Post.

The headline had read “Denial, Not Dream.” and the sub-head followed with “Pornstar claims she’s qualified for senate-seat.”

Mia cried for days after-wards.

That’s what she got for trusting the media.

But, staring at the few thousand dollars in her Kickstarter account, she knew she needed them.

For a moment Mia felt a deep longing to go back to fucking on film.

Maybe the trolls were right and that’s all she was really good for.

Porn was reliable revenue, people bought her stuff.

She knew porn took talent and practice and that it was challenging in it’s own ways, but the real truth was she was a natural.

Sex felt so much easier than politics.

6. Porn can be something worth sharing.

People share videos of their pets, people, & nature in all kinds of situations, why not sex?

Pleasure recorded and shared.

Porn is on-screen pleasure. People make an effort to do something pleasurable, record it and distribute it. Others make an effort to find it and view it. Everyone shares and benefits and multiplies the pleasure received.

TV sharing sex vs. violence.

The porn industry may have a darker side, but does it really compare to mass-media’s glorification of violence & negativity? Porn, when not corrupted, is sex-positive people who’re celebrating the human body.

Society shuts down the sharing of porn.

Making fun of Kanye is an acceptable share. Moaning about drama in your life is an acceptable share. Proudly embracing physical pleasure on film? Hide it or society will shun you.

Sharing porn can be a worthy pursuit.

It’s natural for a child to smile, a flower to bloom, a person to experiment, and it’s natural for us to take a photo and share it.

From cave-drawings to youtube videos, humanity is inspired to share examples, stories, and expression. And after millenia of doing this, it’s always resulted in an increased standard of living.

Say you had the choice of sharing 4 hours of violence today, or 4 hours of people pleasuring each other, which would you choose, and why?

What if society’s got it (unsurprisingly) all confused, and the truth is that watching sex is a far more beautiful and worthy pursuit than we realize?

“You won’t make a new movie, and you keep refusing interviews. You do realize that campaigns pretty much need the media, right? I mean, I’m all for doing things your own way, but this just feels silly, Mi!”

“Yep, a slut and proud of it. Now call.”

7. Porn is a valuable foundation of the economy.

Y’know the economy peeps get worried about? Porn’s healing it in big ways.

Simple pleasures are treasured.

During The Great Depression, when nearly everyone was afraid to spend on anything, simple pleasures & entertainments like pulp fiction were a key factor in pulling the economy out of it’s nose-dive. Today, we have porn.

50 Shades of job creation.

Despite arguments that 50 Shades Of Grey by E.L. James shows an abusive, skewed version of BDSM, it’s still the world’s top-selling book. The movie did similarly, flowing hundreds of millions of dollars to staff. A huge economic surge.

Don't like porn? Change it.

Say what you want, but porn’s a foundation of society, fighting it is like fighting the ocean, air, or some other omni-present substance. You don’t bitch uselessly at foundations, you accept ’em, work with ’em, or create your own.

Appreciate the value of porn.

Dollars flowing, pleasure shared, jobs created, conversations started, and so much more value comes from porn.

Compare that to the a couch-potato who gives the bare minimum at a job he hates for 140 hours a week, then gets online to rage at pornstars.

What’s more valuable, the empty hate, or the blossoming packaged-pleasure industry?

Chapter 8: Mansplained?

Mia met J-Ryze at The Firkin.

This time she claimed the booth first. Jay sat down and jumped right in.

“Why the hell didn’t you call me, Mia?”

Mia knew this wasn’t the time for pleasantries, she’d hurt his feelings.

“I dunno, just- I guess I wanted to do it myself.”

“Why? A plumber won’t build a whole house himself, and he’s not doing the carpenter’s job.”

“I know but— like—”

“But— like— what? Getting a senate seat is not something to do alone.”

“Well, I told myself I couldn’t use you, the same way I promised myself I couldn’t use porn to fund-raise—”

“WHAT?! Wait a minute. You decided to cut off your main talent, the thing that makes your campaign a game-changer?”

“Yeah—”

“Why again!?”

“Uhm…”

“No ‘uhms’, Mia. By turning your back on porn, you’re just as bad as your trolls. It’s a hugely valuable income stream, it brings joy to people, and using it would give you a huge boost in fans and cashflow.”

“That’s just how it’s done. Jenna Jameson quit the biz to be an author. Sasha Grey quit to be a director. I figured I’d quit to be a leader. ‘Sides, I’m scared of the media.”

“Hmmm… ok. Ok. I get it. Lemme ask: are you no longer interested in porn, talking or performing, or is it something you’ll stand up for on the campaign trail?”

“Oh, I still love porn J.”

She glowed to talk about it. “I believe sex is the best experience nature provides, pleasure beats torture and it deserves to be embraced.”

“Right, so you’re different than the women you listed. They were totally off porn.”

Mia’s mouth worked silently. She could feel that rush of realization starting, the one that came when J was dropping truth-bombs.

“You’re in a unique pos-ish to proudly propel porn into a fresh light. Don’t you feel it’s best to use what you’re so proud of as a tool, instead of putting it on a shelf? You’re not Jenna, or Sasha… you’re Mia!”

“Wow. Ok. Fine, yes. I agree you. But how? Do I just talk about it more? Film a new flick with Kym? Fuck my contributors?”

“Whoa, whoa, stay with me, we’ll get to that, but first let’s address your media-fear.”

“k.”

“Why’re you scared of the media?”

“They always take a negative view of porn and paint me in a horrible light. God. You try it sometime and see how it feels!”

“Hah, ok, ok. Much props to you for handling the pressure so far. Honestly, being a social lightning rod’s not for me. But you’ve done it before, you’re good at it. That’s why I’m dedicated to helping you, not being you.”

Mia blushed.

“Now, the media defaults to a negative view ‘cause of three things. Your targeting, your presentation, and their fear. Two of which you can change, and by doing so, you relieve the third.”

“Wha? Whadda you mean?”

“Knowledge trumps fear. Always has, always will.”

“People are scared of a sexual woman blessed with an idealized body taking a position of true cultural leadership.”

“Ee gee: ‘me’.”

“Exactly. They’re scared of their beliefs about sex and porn being overturned, and what that’d do to their friends and families. They’re scared of change. They’re scared of unwanted babies, and rape, and diseases—”

“It’s really not unsafe, and there are—”

“—many ways around that stuff, I know, Mia, I know. Point is peeps are scared, yes, but if they understood what you and I understand, if they were armed with knowledge, they’d be more chill.”

“Fine, but it’s not like I can change their fear, J.”

“Yes you can, or at least you can make it easier to change.”

“How?” Mia edged forward on her seat.

“With compelling stories aimed at great relationships. You choose the right media outlet, gently start a relationship with them, and you share the right story with ‘em.”

“Ohhhhh-kaaaay?” Mia floundered.

J sighed. “Look, pick something negative the media thinks about you.”

“That I’m shallow, dumb, and unqualified to lead.”

“So you start with a porn-friendly rag and give an exclusive. Can you name one?”

“Vice.”

“K, so you share a story that shows how real leaders need to be as bold and as intuitive as pornstars and fake leaders pussy out. Show how a leader who stands up for body-love, will also take the best care of our lonely, beleaguered soldiers. Show how a leader who comes from the most disrespected industry and still grows her career, can easily deal with the pressure of international incidents.”

“That’s brilliant, J! I love it!”

“Booyah. Have you ever been touched by a story and then decided on a better way to live?”

Mia laughed remembering her first hearing of “The Tortoise And The Hare.”

“Exactly. You get it. Now, name another media lie.”

“That I use sex to manipulate people.”

“So share a story that shows how —much like a gun— sex is a tool, and can be used to needlessly abuse others, defend our country, or feed families and provide food. The story asks who we trust with a gun: 1) a native hunter raised to revere life and wastes nothing from the animal, or 2) some random kid who found his Dad’s gun? Implying that the pornstar is the trained hunter and we can trust her with the her own sexuality, as well as the country’s.”

“Wow. Yes, a story that shows the truth about sex instead of oversimplified ‘carrot and stick’ shit!”

“Yes. Wanna name another? ”

“Uh, no, it’s fine, I get it. I’m gonna get to work on a film with a different story.”

8. Porn isn’t innately ‘bad’, people are just ignorant of it’s value.

Sadly some people just aren’t ready for the truth, so they hide & live in denial.

'Selling' sex is totally fine.

Why’s everyone down on ‘selling’ sex? Daniel Pink’s recent book “To Sell is Human: The Surprising Truth About Moving Others” shows how even though most people don’t realize it, we’re all always selling something. It’s fine to ‘sell’ sex, and for some peeps, buying sex is the only way they’ll ever experience it.

Educate yourself: knowledge beats fear.

People didn’t understand the solar system, and had Galileo locked up for speaking the truth. People didn’t understand germs and blamed superstitious creatures as the cause of disease. Even now we’re discovering new things all the time, and once new knowledge is proved, most people drop their fears and lies.

Porn doesn't 'corrupt' people.

Just as someone into weight-lifting wants to try different exercises, and someone into reading samples different books, a person into sex will experiment with different sex-acts. A lifter can injure himself, a reader can become anti-social, but it’s not the activity that causes the ‘corruption.’

A lot of people don’t ‘get’ porn.

Many say porn’s degrading. Many say it’s ungodly.

Since I love porn, it’d make sense for me to argue against these things, but there’s more to it than that. I wanna show my love of pleasure and sexuality, and acknowledge that porn can be degrading and ungodly.

Keyphrase: “can be,” but it doesn’t have to be.

It’s up to each of us to live our own complex lives and sort out what’s right for ourselves. No one can do it for us. Figuring out what suits isn’t a responsibility that can be delegated.

Porn’s a complex subject, and it can be approached with an open mind, or narrow, stubborn opinion.

Then she emailed her agent to book her first Brazzers shoot in 6 months.

9. Like many once-marginalized industries, porn evolves.

Like tattoos, yoga, & tech, sexuality grows more accepted.

Tattoos, piercings, and porn, oh my.

There’s a mirror for porn’s growth in tattoo-culture. Once it was extremely edgy to get a tattoo, but it’s evolved to a point where it’s almost edgy to be tattoo-free, seems like everyone’s got one now. Or piercings. Hmm…

Porn, like the tech industry, grows fast.

Before kids would use technology rarely, spending most of their time playing in fields. Now they play on screens and when they’re outside they always have a phone nearby. This is evolution: tech changes, and so does sex.

Accept that all arenas change.

Women used to have to have their ankles covered, now they can show off a lot more, but not to minors. Things can and will change further.

All the ‘bad’ stuff about porn may change.

Everything that bugs people about porn right now, might be totally different in a few years. A simple look at history can be super enlightening.

“Porn’s no longer a sideshow to the mainstream…it is the mainstream.” – Frank Rich

Chapter 10: Light Up The Room

Life works in mysterious ways.

Although Mia felt empty inside when she gave up, that Brazzer’s shoot was actually the switch that flipped things around for her.

On set she was cringing at the thought of telling J she couldn’t act on his advice, and at the thought of Kymber’s reaction to her return to porn.

She knew it was fine to leverage it, but it still felt like a self-betrayal, and she felt she should’ve had the ‘right story for the right people’ by now.

Regardless, Mia prided herself on giving her all once she committed to something, so she put on her best performance.

And because of that she made friends with the cast.

And because of that they took her to the wrap-party.

And because of that she met Vince McKewan.

Vince was a ‘real’ director. Tall, vigorous and in his fifties, he had a Hollywood resume and a bunch of feature films under his belt.

He was mostly aloof during the party but gravitated toward Mia.

He wore dark slacks and a grey silk shirt rolled up over his forearms. He had a head of magnificent silver locks framing a strong face with a dark, short beard.

Mia figured he liked her boobs, and was happy to share a flash or two, but she didn’t feel attractive. She had to give all the money she’d raised back, and had just put her political plans on the back-burner to crank out another scene.

Vince made a powerful first impression by picking up on her vibe and asking Mia what was wrong.

He was a sincere, outside, listening ear.

Mia gushed out her pains, frustrations, and fears in a torrent, while the filmmaker listened attentively.

Her tale of woe was punctuated by an embarrassed silence. It felt like the music volume awkwardly lowered at that exact moment.

Vince saved the conversation, “You know, Mia, I almost skipped this gig, but I had a weird feeling I needed to be here.”

“Yeah?”

“Yes, I’ve been looking for inspiration, itching to direct, and I feel I may’ve just found it. Come, sit with me.”

It wasn’t long before they were talking porn and politics, and more than that, storytelling. So began Vince and Mia’s collaboration, and Mia always celebrates the day she broke her porn sabbatical, which resulted in a cash injection and an exhilarating partnership.

Giving up and ‘going back’ to porn was Mia’s saving grace.

10. Most porn-fans have lame answers to haters.

Here’s common hate offered toward porn, and my responses.

'Ew, porn objectifies!'

Let’s say porn does actually objectify, why’s that bad? If I want a break from life, and wanna pretend I’m someone else like an actor does, or play pretend like a kid does, is that bad? If I want to turn off my mind and responsibilities for an hour, alone as an object to be used to give pleasure to another human I intimately trust… that’s 100% ok.

'Sex is for pro-creation only.'

Really? Birth’s the only possible reason to have sex is just silly. The reason we have this insane, unstoppable, sublime physical pleasure available to us on earth is to spit out a kid and not to enjoy the most natural pleasure around? I guess nature wanted us to spend more time on hobbies like basket-weaving,’cause sex is ONLY for pro-creation, right? So ridiculous.

'Porn is flat-out wrong.'

If you let other people decide what’s ‘right’ and ‘wrong’, and in what situations, you’ve given up your personal power. That’s fine. Go for it, but that ain’t me. I know what helps me move me forward on my journey, and no outside influence can disconnect me from my inner-wisdom. If I feel porn is good, deep in my soul… that’s it. I don’t tell others what’s good for them, and I expect the same in return.

Sexual release creates happier humans.

Straight up, releasing sexual tension is a positive thing.

Or at least, it should be.

It’s super important for people to find a way work with and embrace their deep, primal urges. Gotta pee? Find a way to deal with that. Gnawingly hungry? Get food. Horny? Play & cum.

Chapter 11: #Porn101

#Porn101 took the world by storm.

Mia, Vince, and J-Ryze knew they had to make something far more appealing than ‘just porn.’ They also knew they needed something far quicker to launch than a big Hollywood production.

So they released two webisodes a week of a series called #Porn101, in which a young girl (Mia) attends a school with her friend (Kym) to learn the ins-and-outs of the porn business. Each show was a riveting story of drama and humor, and also sent a message, shedding fresh light on different parts of porn.

The “Class Is History” episode saw slut-shamed teenage-Mia becoming a proudly sexual woman, while the teacher reviewed porn industry’s evolution from ancient, worshipped nude temple-dancers to our current landscape of Brazzers to X-Art. It asked viewers to think how we’d improve things, perhaps with a Porn-president?

The “Happy Healthy Human” episode saw Mia visit a disabled man in Amsterdam, who’s only sexual pleasure was paid prostitutes, while classmates back home learned the power of pleasure in creating happy, healthy humans. It asked viewers to compare a dark repressed world where sex is shameful, with one where it’s embraced, enjoyed, and celebrated.

The “Obsessive Compulsive” episode saw a recently-dumped Mia obsessively addicted to stalking her ex’s social media, while the class learned that dealing with addictions by marginalizing an industry is silly. It asked viewers to think whether alcohol should be hated, because some people can’t handle themselves around it, and how does that apply to watching sex?

Mia’s #Porn101 webisodes set the media ablaze.

Everyone else shared the story on social ‘cause they didn’t wanna be left out.

Sure, there were more haters than before, but they were a drop in the bucket compared to all the praise, and most importantly, donations were pouring in, and they didn’t even have a Kickstarter this time.

Mia looked around her sparkling clean home at her loving, understanding team, and had a sudden realization.

In the months of excitement it took to make #Porn101, she hadn’t touched a drink or cigarette.

Mia won senate & continued to shoot occasional porn.

Her campaign took a proud, public stand and all the secret masturbators of the world were compelled to speak up. Her loving, bold leadership brought clarity to so many misunderstandings.
